BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Therapeutic patient education (TPE) is recommended by many clinical practice guidelines for musculoskeletal pain (1,2). While TPE is recommended, there is little guidance on what TPE entails or how it should be applied. Often, TPE is studied in conjunction with other interventions impacting a variety of patient outcomes.

This paper aimed to evaluate the efficacy of TPE in managing subacute and chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, pertaining to the primary outcomes of pain and disability, in addition to the secondary outcomes of kinesiophobia and catastrophizing.

Therapeutic patient education (TPE) is recommended by many clinical practice guidelines for musculoskeletal pain.

Personalized approaches to therapeutic pain education were more effective than generic information even in a group setting.
